A complete, up-to-date bibliography of works by and about Heidegger would be a vast undertaking. Hans-Martin Sass's 1975 bibliography, which covered the period from 1917 to 1972, included entire chapters called “Heidegger in Japan” and “Literature on Heidegger in the Soviet Union” and already contained more than 3,700 entries! Fortunately, some excellent bibliographies are available. The bibliography offered here is therefore quite selective, emphasizing recent books and collections in English most likely to be helpful to students and nonspecialists.
